However, Ah Ju was not disappointed in her heart, she thought that she could finally get a very good evaluation, and she felt that she still had a very promising future. Thinking of this, Ah Ju ran to collect her piano with a smile, but suddenly found that under the piano, there was a bill with ten taels of silver on it, which could be withdrawn from any bank in the Shenhua Continent.

Ah Ju suddenly screamed, and at this time, the fire peony happened to come over and asked, "What's wrong?" It's that the guest left without giving the reward, it's just that I forgot it, and there will be a chance next time. Huo Peony said while comforting Ah Ju, but saw Ah Ju holding a bill of ten taels of silver in his hand.

Huo Peony is a clear-eyed person, she looked at this bill, and found that the guest must be the son of a very special big family in this Xianyang Town, because this bill is different from the bill obtained by ordinary people, but there is also a special mark signed on it, this mark can not be forged, it will only be issued to those large families with unusually special identities for use, which also marks the very special status and identity of these people.

Thinking of this, Huo Peony couldn't help but look at Ah Ju, Huo Peony pondered for a moment, I have to say, she knows even more that such a special big family will not say anything very good to such a skilled Ah Ju for no reason, and also offer a reward. Although, the reward of ten taels of silver is probably nothing for that kind of person, but that kind of person is famous for not praising indiscriminately, and the praise they give is either real or intentional!

And after thinking about it for a while, Huo Peony only thought that the guest was to please Ah Ju, probably because she should have taken a fancy to Ah Ju, and Huo Peony felt that Ah Ju was probably not suitable for living in this Chunxiang Courtyard, so she asked Ah Ju and said, "Ah Ju, what do you think of the guest just now?" ”

This head of Ah Ju was also immersed in the joy of getting a very large reward for her, she suddenly heard the fire peony ask, she subconsciously said: "Very good, hee hee ......" Ah Ju said, and handed the reward to the fire peony, according to the rules, the reward money must be handed over to the fire peony first, and the fire peony will naturally return half of these rewards at the end of each month.

Huo Peony secretly wrote down the matter between Ah Ju and the guest, intending to match the two of them after figuring out the situation, so that Ah Ju, who had been abandoned since childhood, could have a good home.

------------------------

A few days later, in Xiahou's mansion, in broad daylight, Xiahou lay flat on his bed, tossing and turning, his heart was in a mess, he still couldn't make a decision, he was still in that state, he wanted to get the help of Shi Hao and others, and get rid of this position that made him feel inferior, but he was afraid that Shi Hao and others would lie and take the opportunity to engulf the entire Xiahou family.

Xiahouping just lay back and over until noon, seeing that it was time to eat, he was a little hungry, so he got up and went to the kitchen to find something to eat. After all, he, the son of Xiahou, is not as good as that Xiahousi, Xiahousi has people serving tea and pouring water to eat, and he, Xiahou Ping, can only go to the kitchen to cook and eat by himself.

Not long after, Xiahouping went to the kitchen, and saw that several cooks here were busy cooking, but he didn't say much to ask, but saw a raw sweet potato on the ground on the side, so he went to take the raw sweet potato and made a fire on the side, and roasted the sweet potato.

Speaking of which, this Xiahouping's craftsmanship is really not bad, the roasted sweet potatoes are well done, and after a while, a tempting aroma wafted from his roasted sweet potatoes, which made Xiahouping himself very satisfied.

But unfortunately, today, it was very unfortunate that this aroma happened to be smelled by Chahous, who came to the kitchen. Xiahousi ran to Xiahouping and shouted, "Huh! My good brother, I just learned today that this skill is not as bad as those cooks, and even seems to be more powerful, okay, since this is the case, then I will not be embarrassed in the future, just be my cook, give me a taste of this sweet potato first. ”

When Xiahou Ping heard this, although he was reluctant in his heart, he didn't dare to have a conflict with that Xiahousi face-to-face, so he had to give up his freshly baked sweet potatoes to Xiahousi.

And Xia Housi took the sweet potato, and ran to his father Xiahou Yuan in a blink of an eye, he immediately handed the sweet potato to his father Xia Hou Yuan, and said: "Father, this sweet potato is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, just baked." Xiahou Yuan took the sweet potato but threw it aside, and said, "Just a sweet potato, let me forget about business?" ”

When Xia Housi heard this, he trembled, and he hurriedly said: "I haven't forgotten, I will personally order the kitchen to prepare a feast to welcome the arrival of Lord Qin and Lord Wei Chi." After that, Xiahousi rushed back to the kitchen, and with a commanding tone, he instructed Xiahouping and those cooks to prepare a feast before this evening to receive Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong, who had temporarily decided to come from Jianghan County.

But speaking of which, I have to say more, Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong were also forced to have no choice but to change to the new Shenwu Alliance after the collapse of the old Shenwu Alliance, and they were still the lords of Jianghan County, and the two of them were currently recognized as the first people in power in Central China. It's just that why the two of them deliberately came to Xianyang Town temporarily at this time is still unknown.

At this time, after listening to Xiahous's orders, those cooks acted quickly, and Xiahous still didn't dare to resist Xiahous in person because of his inferiority and cowardice, so he swallowed his anger and acted too. Finally, before the evening of this day, Charhous and the chefs successfully rushed to work dozens of Seiko, and put everything in advance with special insulation equipment, so that guests can come and enjoy.

------------------------

Not long after, Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong really arrived on time, as soon as the two of them appeared, Xiahou Yuan immediately appeared at the same time and greeted each other with a smile, saying: "The two distinguished guests have come from afar, I am not well prepared, I am afraid that I will be sluggish." With that, Xiahou Yuan took the two of them to the table and sat down. I saw that Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong and Xiahou Yuan were all sitting side by side in the top seats, and below them were Xiahou Si and Zhou Mei and others. And during this banquet, they didn't say anything important, until after eating, they rested for a while, and Qin Qiong signaled to let the rest of the idle people retreat, ready to say something important.
